City commissioners on Tuesday unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance establishing a new reinvestment housing incentive district (RHID) in a northwest Manhattan neighborhood.
The LK Townhomes project, led by Frontier Development, will build 26 duplex units on a stretch of Little Kitten Avenue, representing an approximately $9 million investment. It’s the first of three infill housing development projects the company is planning in the city, totaling $15 million.
“I’m happy to see these now coming around,” said commissioner John Matta. “We’ve been working on this for a number of years, all these housing initiatives, and it’s nice to see it all come together.”
